Society for Engineering Education, 2008 Capstone Design Courses: Content RecognitionIntroduction:The Capstone Design course at The University of South Florida brings realistic designexperiences into the academic environment. The course is completed in each of the two 15 weeksemesters. The students do all of the design phases: define the project, conceptual design,embodiment design and detail design, plus other experiences, such as report writing, makingdrawings, and presentation skills. In addition, the students read and discuss two engineeringethics case studies, are instructed in Pro-Engineer, and have lectures on several pertinent topics,such as patents and licensing, entrepreneurship, professionalism, and safety.

The introductory course in entrepreneurshipenrolls more than 100 students per year, and students may also find specialized entrepreneurial-focused classes within their home departments. Innovation Space is a smaller, specializedprogram in which a multidisciplinary team of students from business, design, and engineeringwork together for a year to develop a product prototype. The focus on entrepreneurship at ASUpermeates the entire campus. The Entrepreneurs at ASU web page [28] provides a listing of over50 potential courses and over 30 programs supporting entrepreneurship across the university.Another major goal of the current university administration is to promote both diversity andglobal awareness.

dating back to MIT’s makerspace around 2001 (Barrett et al., 2015).While makerspaces are appearing in many universities and engineering schools across thecountry, there is still very little empirical assessment of the spaces. In particular, while there is anacknowledgment of the importance of community and culture in the success of these spaces(Sheridan et al. 2013), the understanding of how to nurture a sense of community and a cultureof innovation and entrepreneurship in higher education makerspaces is scant.

entrepreneurship to hard core engineering. Some resourcesavailable to the faculty are heavy on the business side of the problem and somewhat lighter onthe technological and engineering side. To more effectively balance these topics, tweaking ofavailable resources must be done. In general, these types of courses involve a project thatproduces a 3D solid computer model of the product, or a physical prototype. An inevitableconsequence of this is that either existing products must be designed (actually copied) for theproject, or intellectual property must be considered. This paper discusses three areas ofrefinement to commonly available resources, two of which are technical in nature and one ofwhich is entrepreneurial. They are: (1) enhancement of engineering
